How your mind works-who knows  Ubenedictus: You see him you have contradicted yourself?
1. First you claim the Church kept the bible in Latin to prevent the people from reading it. Now you admit that anybody who could read at that time, any literate person could read Latin too.
That means anyone who was literate i. E could read was able to read the bible as Latin was the international language of education all over Europe.
2. You also admit the Jews kept their bible in Hebrew, does that mean they were also hiding the bible or are you only biased against the catholic Church who actually made sure the bible was available in the language every educated person knew and read. |

The canon is used by the Catholic Church-it is obvious-the Catholic's receive much of their information from the deuterocanonical Apocryphal books. We already know about Luther-I also know the Catholic Church kept the books.I am a believer, but no, I don't give unless the Spirit leads me to give. I don't "tithe money, nor do I give offerings in cash" giving, is just part of someones life style. You still haven't answered the question "I recently asked-which of the books did you retrieve Mary not having Original sin-second question, I wanted to know which of the books it said: Mary sits on her sons right side-this is the sort of information-l want?You all complain we don't learn anything-but none of you answer anything we ask neither. blackbriar: i have answered you about mary and original sin in my past post. i do believe in purgatory,your orientation of purgatory is the issue. i thought the apocryphal books were bel and dragon,gospel of thomas etc and not the first 8 you mentioned. the first 8 you mentioned are and is part of the canon, they were removed by fr. luther during the protestant reformation. wait you are xtian and u dont do alms giving(dats weird and wrong) Psalm 72:3-4 john 20:24. |

You maybe able to fill us in-it isn't written in the bible, that Mary has no original sin-which of the books is it written? I suppose in one of the 12 books the Catholic Church are using? I have found in {1 Maccabees 12 } one of the books-you believe you could pray to the dead-and of course you believe in purgatory. So show me where in the deutercanonical Apocrypha books-Mary has no Original Sin, and show us-Mary sits on her son's right side?Explain to me, why are these books still in used by the Catholic Church? Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Esslesiasticus, Baruch 1&2 Esdrus, 1&2 Maccabees, the letter of Jeremiah, Prayer of the Manasseh. The Apocrypha deuterocanonicals supports some of the things the Roman Catholic Catholic believes and practices, which is not in agreement with the bible. Examples are praying for the dead, Petitioning 'saints' in heaven for their prayers, worshipping angels, alms giving, atoning for sins. blackbriar: Like i said mary was without Original sin and not Actual sin, for if mary had had original sin, what were the consequences for the messiah? |

johnw74: rc's say mary is without sin if Mary was sinless, why was she unclean and had to offer a sacrifice for sin?
rc's teach that Mary never sinned. But, if that is the case, why did she need to offer an atonement according to Old Testament Law (Lev. 12:1-8] after giving birth to Jesus? According to the Old Testament, it was only the mother who needed purifying after a birth because of the issue of blood. She was ritually unclean. If she had a male child, the days of her period of uncleanness was seven days, then the child was circumcised, then she remained unclean for 33 days (v. 4)--for a total of 40 days. If she bore a female child, her period of uncleanness would be 14 days plus 66 days for a total of 80 days. Notice in Leviticus 12:2 it says if she bears a male child, she shall be unclean for seven days. If Mary was sinless, how could she also be unclean?
Below is a chart that has Leviticus 12 and Luke 2 side by side. You can see from the text that Mary had to offer a sacrifice for uncleanness and as it says in Leviticus 12:8, a sacrifice for sin offering that is an atonement. Why would Mary, if she is sinless as the Roman Catholics assert, be unclean and also need a sacrifice? This pretty much clears it up. |

And plus the Deuterocanonical are not found in the Hebrew bible, they were added by the Catholic Church at the council of Trent, after Luther rejected it.The back ground to this theory goes like this; Jesus and the apostles, being Jews, used the same bible the Jews use today. However after they passed from the scene, muddled hierarchs starting adding books to the bible, either out of ignorance or because such books back up various wacky Catholic tradition that were added to the gospel. In the 16th century, when the reformation came along, the first protestants, were finely able to read their bibles without ecclesial propaganda from Rome., notice that the Jewish and the Catholic bible differed, recognised this medieval addition for what it was and scraped it off the Word of God, like so many barnacles of a diamond.Rome, ever ornery, reacted by officially adding the Deuterocanonical at the council of Trent {1545-1563}and started telling Catholic's they had always been there. These are the very reasons-why the Catholic's disagree with the written Word of God, because they claim ownership of the bible-they believe their bible holds the secrets of all truth. No-wonder-they are confused. Don't we love history-when it gives us the ins and outs, about everything. I could read this all day long.

You say according to the Roman Catholicism, Mary sits on the right hand of the Majesty on high.What is the name of the book this is written-since the Catholic Church claims to be the guardians of the bible, you must be able to support your beliefs, since the Catholic's had added scriptures to the bible-seven books in question-Tobit, Judith, 1&2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Ecciesiasticus and Baruch, are property called the Deuterocanonical books. So Uben which book is it written, Mary sits on the right hand of her son?{2 Maccabees 12} Clearly supports prayers for the dead and the belief in Purgatory. While the Catholic's make their claims to be the guardians of the bible-it demonstrated its hostility towards God's word-when it added unscriptural books to the Old Testament, namely the Apocrypha.

I am sure we could argue this one out as long as it takes.{1 Corinthians 14:19}Paul said: In a Church, I would rather speak Five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousands words in an unknown tongue. So I myself-would prefer to speak a language everyone could understand-than speaking a language, no-one can understand. The 16th century there were no public schools, and literacy wasn't that common, especially among the peasants, the people who could read had been well educated and could read Latin. I remember even in the sixties Latin was used throughout the Catholic Churches. We must always remember the Jews had kept their bible in Hebrew until the 19th century, and the Jews weren't interested in the Latin Language, everybody who wanted to learn to read the bible-had to learn Hebrew "The Church fought hard to keep the bible written in Latin, even though it could not be understood, by most people of that time.But thanks, for your hard work Uben-it must have taken you so much of your time-to complete it. Ubenedictus: Again you are either lying through your anus or totally ignorant.
Latin was the popular european language in medieval times even till the 17century vernacular werent even popular.
Read and be enlightened.
The 16th century and beyond Though vernacular languages were gradually growing in prestige, Latin continued to be an important language for written communication in Britain and Europe into the Early Modern period. In documentary sources there is no significant discontinuity in the use of Latin between 16th century and earlier periods: through the Tudor era (Henry VII to Elizabeth I, ob. 1603) Latin remains the standard language of official documents, both state (such as the Close Roll s, the Charter Rolls , and especially the Patent Rolls ) and municipal (such as those collected in the corpus of the British Borough Charters ).
http://www.dmlbs.ox.ac.uk/british-medieval-latin/contexts/the-16th-century-and-beyond
Medieval Latin was the form of Latin used in the Middle Ages , primarily: as a medium of scholarly exchange; as the liturgical language of Chalcedonian Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church; and as a language of science, literature, law, and administration. Despite the clerical origin of many of its authors, medieval Latin should not be confused with Ecclesiastical Latin .
Official status Official language in De facto in most Christian states during the Middle Ages
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Latin
New Latin was, at least in its early days, an international language used throughout Catholic and Protestant Europe, as well as in the colonies of the major European powers. This area consisted of most of Europe, including Central Europe and Scandinavia ; its southern border was the Mediterranean Sea, with the division more or less corresponding to the modern eastern borders of Finland , the Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Croatia .

If I was to raised good questions-then how do you come up with the conclusion Jesus had original sin-Is the Holy Spirit sinful too? {Matthew 1:20} In Matthew it states that the virgin was found to be with child through the Holy spirit, Jesus birth was the result of the Holy Spirit, working in Mary's body. The immaterial {The Spirit} and the material {Mary's womb} were both involved, if Mary tried to impregnate herself, she couldn't, she was a vessel and only God can perform a miracle of the incarnation. {Hebrews 7:26} Jesus was not born in sin, it would seem that the sin nature passed down from generation to generation through our earthly fathers, but if you are guessing Jesus had Original sin-because of His earthly Mother Mary-then what does this say about God the Father? {Romans 5:12, 17, 19} For by the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the One Mans obedience the many were made righteous. {Psalm 69:8} Ring a bell, I have became strangers to My brothers, and an alien to My Mothers Children. And when we look further into it-was Mary remembered as the Holy Mother of God after she had other Children to Joseph. Of course not. Her Children were all sin related, and Sin separates us from God...blackbriar: All you have raised are good questions.

Why was Mary without original sin, this doesn't make any sense-I am sure Mary would have felt a little pain here and there. Original sin was brought into the world after Adam and Eve disobeyed God. First of all, we entered into this world with a fallen nature-this is Adam's sin. The original sin is something inherent in us, we are all born with Original sin, Original sin manifest itself throughout our lives, in actual sins, the actions, thoughts and feelings we have that violate God's mortal commands. So our sinful hearts {"Original sins"} cause us to make sinful choices, think sinful thoughts, and feel sinful feelings, {"Actual sins".} We are not sinners because we sin, rather we sin, because we are sinners-meaning we are all born totally imprisoned in Original sin. There is no island of goodness left in us. Mary was born just like every other human being, that was born, she also suffered pain, made choices, and felt sinful feelings. blackbriar: Mary was without ORIGINAL SIN not ACTUAL SIN. ORIGINAL SIN is what makes all men borne of a woman,Sinners. And the good lord Christ was borne of a woman, for our sake he became flesh. |

So sin was taken from Mary, because God favoured Her? "Interesting" We won't find this written in the bible anywhere that say's, Mary was sinless? I think I understand a pattern here-but it still isn't scriptural, you believe because Jesus was found with no Sin-Mary as His Mother-she is classed as Sinless too. "You have this attitude "Mother like Son-she receives everything God had given to His Son, and because Jesus still lives-Mary's lives.So if Mary had Ordinary sin, Jesus had Ordinary sin too? Am I right? blackbriar: hail ,thou art highly favoured.

How do you get that in {Luke 1:28, 42} How do you put these two verses together with just a guess. Mary was Blessed with Child-but she is still a sinner-not because she sinned, but because the fall of Adam and Eve. {Romans 3:23} We all have sinned and fall sort of the glory of God. Mary is included. {2 Corinthians 5:21} God made Him, who had no Sin, to be Sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteous of God. If Jesus were not Sinless, there would be "No sacrifice for Sin.I hope you are seeing the picture. blackbriar: it is not found explicitly in scripture but flows from the idea of luke 1:28 and luke 1:42.

Why would Jesus judge the world-when you believe Mary is your soul winner to God. Wouldn't it be Mary judging the world? Babacele: Matthew 25:31-46 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) Jesus Will Judge the World 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all his angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 The people of every nation will be gathered in front of him. He will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left. 34 “Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, my Father has blessed you! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. 36 I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ 37 “Then the people who have God’s approval will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you into our homes or see you in need of clothes and give you something to wear? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 “The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.’ 41 “Then the king will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me! God has cursed you! Go into everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels! 42 I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me into your homes. I needed clothes, and you didn’t give me anything to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t take care of me.’ 44 “They, too, will ask, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or in need of clothes or sick or in prison and didn’t help you?’ 45 “He will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you failed to do for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you failed to do for me.’ 46 “These people will go away into eternal punishment, but those with God’s approval will go into eternal life.” |

It is only your interpretation-I don't supposedly believe in Jesus, Mary is remembered-but she aren't prayed too.{Hebrews 4:12} For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper then a two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the Heart. Do you understand-How simple this is-Mary isn't the Living Word of God. We pray "To and For" the living..Babacele: so you don't believe Jesus ? don't be confused. I hope you know that Mary mother of God must be remembered by all generations (luke 1: 48)and so she is ever living ?
I repeat Jesus the final authority in Mat 22: 32-33 … 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” |

But it still doesn't give us reason to pray "TO or For" the dead. God is the God of the living, God isn't the God of the dead Mary no-longer has flesh and blood, Mary and the saints are in Spirit with the Lord. {Hebrews 13:8} Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. {John 1:1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God. We pray to the living-God is living..He is God, who is, who was, and who is to come.Babacele: to we Christians there is nothing like death with the body of Christ ,and this mystery would continue to confound Sadducees and Pharisees .
In Math 22: 31-32 Jesus told the Sadducees thus … 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” So was Abraham, Isaac and Jacob on earth when Jesus said that?
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners ..... |
